Advanced Ab Exercise To Get A Shredded Midsection

If you want to get a an amazing six pack, you must exercise and train your abdominals with efficient ab exercises. That’s not all though! In order to really see your newly developed midsection, you will also have to shed the belly fat that is covering it up. The ab exercise that I’m going to show you now will help you achieve both of these goals at the same time!

Most ab exercises just isolate your abdominals – that’s it. This will work your midsection, but does not give that extra fat burning effect. The ab exercises that I advise are specifically intended to reduce body fat, in addition to strengthening and developing your abs. On top of that, these ab exercises speed up you metabolism, which burns calories even after your workout is over!

I will now show you one great exercise that provides the powerful dual effect stated above. The name of the technique is the Parallel Bar Knee Raise. This is an advanced exercise and does require quite a bit of upper body strength to perform correctly. Here is how you should perform it:

Parallel Bar Knee Raise- With locked elbows, support your body on parallel dip bars. Keep your upper body as upright as possible. Flex hips to a 90 degree angle. This is the starting position. From this position, bring knees up to chest and contract your abs. Return to starting position and repeat for the prescribed number of reps.

Once more, this is somewhat of an advanced exercise. Those of you who have trouble doing it should start off by strengthening your abs with an assortment of less difficult exercises.

One ab exercise that will help prepare you for the Parallel Bar Knee Raise is the reverse crunch. Begin in a horizontal position and increase the angle of inclination as your abdominals grow stronger, until you are able to properly perform the parallel bar knee raise.
